The good old disable Clear Type recommendation comes to the rescue again .

Might work on the Touch Pro too, but I'll stick with the eye candy and keep Clear Type on . Any delays have never been much of a problem and I use soft qwerty much of the time anyway. I typically only use the slider in the car when I have the Touch Pro mounted sideways. And I can't type fast when the device is in the car holder anyway.

I could be wrong, but I thought that if your curser wasn't in the text box then when you push a letter your curser moved to the box. It's like pushing a key makes the phone realize that you want to type and moves the curser down.

I guess what I'm saying is that it doesn't "miss" the first char. typed, but rather the opposite.

It is second nature now for me to push down on the D-pad, which puts the curser in the text box, before I start typing. and I have never experienced a missed character.

I know this is not what you are wanting; the best solution would be for the SMS program to realize you pushed a button, move the curser down, and THEN inset that char. in the message.

Additional thoughts: I have also seen(and experienced) that when listening to audio while the screen saver option is enabled will cause the audio to stutter every time the time changes. For some reason the Treo's hardware can not process the audio and that visual clock change in parallel, so it has to stop the sound, change the time and then proceed with the sound processing. I think what happens with the treo dropping characters is that some kind of memory swapping function is interrupting the keyboards information flow to the SMS app. There is no buffer to hold that info so if the treo is "busy" at any moment as I'm typing away, it just doesn't input that key. I have noticed that it's inconsistent. Sometimes it works fine. Sometimes it works ok. Sometimes it's unbearable. This needs to be fixed. ARE YOU LISTENING PALM?!?! FIX IT!!!!

I'm having the same problem. Windows Media Player seems to "stutter" every 20 - 60 seconds for about 1 sec., for no obvious reason. I HAVE seen it stop for a second when the time changes, but other times for no obvious cause. Is this something that can be fixed by disabling the screensaver? How do I disable the screensaver on the STP? (1.04) Thanks!

Start, settings, system, power... then look for screensaver(s) (whatever it is called).

I found it tonight by accident... only way I know... if I'd been looking for it, I'd never have found it. lol

This probably should be in its own separate thread, since it's not about the keyboard. But if disabling the screen saver does not resolve your problem. Are you only noticing the skips when playing media off your SD card? If so, that might be resolved by simply formatting the SD card while its in the device. But of course you'd need a place to temporarily store your card data while formatting the card. A utility like SK Tools can do the card format.
